flood forecasting models

Flood forecasting models use data like rainfall, river levels, and weather forecasts to predict when and where flooding might occur. They combine scientific understanding of how water moves and accumulates with computer simulations to generate accurate predictions. This helps authorities issue warnings in advance, giving communities time to prepare and reduce damage. These models are continuously refined with real-time data and help improve the accuracy of flood risk assessments, making them essential tools for disaster management and safety planning.
